Inside the 500 Year Old Craft of Paper Marbling
from Your Creative Midlife · host Betsy Bush
How would you like to try something completely new? That's what I'm doing with my summer, calling it Nantucket Camp. How about paper marbling? It's a heritage craft, which means, in some ways, it's considered endangered. Here’s how I learned to make marbled paper, just like Renaissance Florence or Venice! I took the workshop run by The Nantucket Historical Association. They have a heritage crafts department where you can learn many different things. We made our papers and then used the paper to cover a clamshell box, inside and out. It was so much fun. I can’t wait to try paper marbling again!
